Text and pictures follow the stories of three families from remote villages in quake-hit areas of Southeastern Turkey. Although currently living in tents and facing the possibility of eviction, the villagers are determined to stay in the land they've called home for generations and to keep farming in order to preserve it.
The story explores how both Turkish and Syrians are celebrating the Ramadan after the February 6 earthquake that hit south-eastern Turkey. From public Iftars in Gaziantep to private celebrations, the story showcases how people are spending Ramadan displaced inside tents, while others are trying to celebrate it in their damaged homes to regain a semblance of normal life.
The story follows the everyday life of a displaced Turkish family in earthquake-hit Gaziantep, in the days immediately before and after May 14's Turkish General Elections.
